Section Information

Use this section of the page to indicate whether test score and prerequisite restrictions, CAPP area restrictions, or DegreeWorks prerequisite restrictions are effective for the section. Use the Section Information section to access this section of the page.

Test score and prerequisite restrictions and CAPP area restrictions can be displayed and maintained at any time, but only one type can be effective for a section, and it is the setting of the Prerequisite Check Method option group that controls which are in effect. Only the type that is effective will be listed in the Bulletin Report (SCRBULT).

When selecting the setting of the Prerequisite Check Method option group, be aware of the following scenarios.

When the Prerequisite Check Method is set to Basic or None and CAPP area prerequisites exist, a warning is displayed when the user saves, starts over, or exits from the page. The warning message is: WARNING: CAPP area prerequisites exist, but the CAPP prerequisite check method is not selected. The user must acknowledge this message to continue.
When the Prerequisite Check Method is set to CAPP and no CAPP area prerequisites exist, an error message is displayed when the user saves, starts over, or exits from the page. The error message is: No CAPP area is associated with this section. You must first add a CAPP area prerequisite to the section in order to save this value. The user cannot leave the page until the prerequisite is added or the option group setting is changed.

DegreeWorks prerequisite restrictions are created in the DegreeWorks product. When DegreeWorks prerequisite checking is in use, the View DegreeWorks Prerequisite Description button is used to open the Prerequisite Information window and view a description of the prerequisite or a prerequisite error.

When no information exists for the prerequisite description, the message No prerequisite was defined for this course. Please contact the Registrar's Office is delivered is displayed. This message text is delivered and can be customized in DegreeWorks version 4.1.0.

When the PREREQCHK rule on GTVSDAX is set to a begin term that is before the availability of DegreeWorks prerequisite checking, the View DegreeWorks Prerequisite Description button is not displayed.

For more information on using CAPP area prerequisites, refer to the Banner Student CAPP Handbook. For more information on using DegreeWorks prerequisites, refer to the “Registration” chapter of the Banner Student User Guide.
